Stick together

 I powered on my phone after our tsunami scare this morning and found the start up message quite fitting.  It said, "stick together."  It made me realize that if Mother Nature did decide to wipe Hawaii off the map last night,  none of those items I had scrambled to throw into a bag mattered at all to me.  What mattered were the people I love.  Several of whom happened to be with me at the time.   As we all sat around; googling the latest news, waiting with anticipation,  and "celebrating" the possibility that this could be the end, it dawned on me that all of that other "shit" we possess is exactly that... shit.    They're material,  replaceable, and they are not alive.  And when the world does end those "things" won't be remembered.  You will remember.  So even though we lose touch with loved ones due the chaos of our daily lives,  we never forget.   We stick together, no matter how much we lose our stickiness.

This message of togetherness also serves as a perfect interlude to my next matter at hand.  A contest Pete entered which will help bring unity back into our community here in Haleiwa.   So let us continue to stick together.  Power in numbers people.  Help Pete save the planet.  Please go to this link and see what he's done.  He put a lot of time and thought into this contest and would really appreciate your vote. 

The voting begins March 12th and ends March 27th.  You can actually vote everyday and you will if you truly love me.
